The stereotype of a nurse (for probably anyone who hasn’t worked in a hospital): blond and slightly slutty. The crochet pattern for your very own amigurumi nurse is suitable for beginners and takes about 4 hours to make (the most time goes on the hair). The final lady has appr. 8 cm height incl. the bonnet.
What do you need:
- a skin- resp. white-coloured yarn at a recommended hook size of 2.0-3.0 (e.g. Cotone or Cotone fine) for the body resp. bonnet
- a white-coloured yarn for the suit at a recommended hook size of 2.0-2.5 or finer (e.g. Cotone fine or a Diana of size 5). Overall, the yarn for the dress should have a lace or super fine weight, otherwise the dress will end up being too bulky
- a piece of red yarn for the cross on the bonnet
- a bouclé yarn for the hair
- a pair of safety eyes at 6 mm
- a scissor
- some wadding
- a fine darning needle
- in case of different yarn weights, two crochet hooks: one for the thicker yarn (preferably 2.0 mm), one for the finer yarn (1.5 mm or less)
